Solder Alloy 401 vs. 60Cr-40Ni Alloy

Both solder alloy 401 and 60Cr-40Ni alloy are otherwise unclassified metals. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. There are 16 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is solder alloy 401 and the bottom bar is 60Cr-40Ni alloy.
